Instruction: you are a state homeland security official. A city emergency manager has asked you why their city emergency management personnel should use the NIMS rather than developing their own command and control system. Analyze the differences in using the National Incident Management System as opposed to emergency management personnel developing an ad hoc command system for each individual emergency or disaster situation. Provide examples where applicable to support your position.
Prepare a PowerPoint presentation to document your analysis. Be sure your presentation addresses the following:
- Advantages and disadvantages, if any, of the NIMS
- Advantages and disadvantages, if any, of an ad hoc system
- A comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of employing both systems.
Length: 12 slides, not including title and reference slides
